The Sickos Stats Summary for Week 11!

November 11, 2024

Welcome back to the Sickos Stats Summary for Week 11!

If you missed the previous weeks and the explainer, this year at the Sickos Sentinel, we’re going to bring you something called the Sickos Stats Summary. It’s basically going to be weird stats on different things we found that we don’t think get a lot of attention. We will make some graphics every week and try to give you a few amounts of stats that are unconventionally appealing or things that don’t get highlighted much.

Do I know how many stats will be in each weekly post? Nope.

SAFETY ALERTS FOR WEEK 11

You know we love our safeties here. It’s a scoring play that's rare, and it leads to weird scores that you don’t see too often. So we want to shout out these teams that scored a safety. We were able to gather data from the FBS, FCS and sometimes DII***. If we miss one in our data search, we’re sorry. It is not intentional, and sometimes the data is faulty.

Wo oh wow had some safeties this week!!! I feel like I missed one or two more too. The UNLV one didn’t show up on my data pull but I remembered it because it was the UNLV winning margin on Hawaii 29-27. Rutgers was powered over the Gophers with a safety. Duke started the game 2-0 on NC State. Dartmouth had a game sealing safety to win by 9 over Princeton. Louisiana Tech likely *should* have won but they gave up a Hail Mary at the end and then lost in OT. Fordham also lost in heartbreaking fashion to Bucknell 28-27.

LONGEST NON-SCORING DRIVE OF THE WEEK - TIME OF POSSESSION

Welcome to this substack Georgia, never really expected to see you here and this is why this season has been so much fun for the Committee. Georgia didn’t have a fun time against Ole Miss. However, everyone who was an Ole Miss fan sure did. Georgia was down 22-10 at this point and started with the ball in the 3rd Quarter. They got all the way down to the Ole Miss 27 and faced a 4th and 10. Instead of kicking a field goal to go down 9, they opted to go for it and Ole Miss deflected the pass leading to the Carson Beck interception. This kind of sealed the win I guess, Ole Miss got a field goal to make it a 15 point lead on the next drive.

LONGEST SCORING DRIVE OF THE WEEK - TIME OF POSSESSION

(This one deserves all caps) ARMY METHODICALLY MARCHED DOWN THE FIELD UP 7-3 ON NORTH TEXAS IN A PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY DRAINING DRIVE FOR THE MEAN GREEN. THE ARMY MACHINE SLOWLY CHURNED DOWN THE FIELD FOR WHAT MIGHT BE THE LONGEST TIME OF POSSESSION DRIVE IN REGULAR COLLEGE FOOTBALL HISTORY. (we’re digging further for this and it may take a while)

This drive is only 32 seconds away (not even one full play clock) from the 14 minute, 26 second drive from Navy in the 2004 Emerald Bowl. Navy’s drive ended in a made field goal. Happy Veteran’s Day.

LONGEST PUNT OF THE WEEK - FBS & FCS

Jacob Ulrich uncorked this punt backing up the UTEP returner to the 10 yard line. However, UTEP returner Trey Goodman returned this one 62 yards to the Owls 28 yard line. However again, the Owls defense forced a turnover on downs.

Honorable mention to Duquesne Punter Kyle Romenick for a 73 Yard punt, the second longest punt of the week with no return!

Thank you for reading! We are working on more data sorting to come up with more ridiculous stats to celebrate, so stay tuned. Also, feel free to suggest more ideas in the comments or yell at me if the data missed something so I can correct it!

We rebranded a metric from last year to a newly better named one C.O.A.S.T. TO VICTORY - A rebranded stat from the Sickos Committee! and then an all new stat to calculate the Spinach Team of the Week!
